La Antigua

Rosa Mexicano

La Antigua at the 1st Avenue outpost of Rosa Mexicano is one for the senses. It’s a blend of Tanteo cocoa-infused tequila, bitters, and finished off with an orange twist. It’s a stirred and alcohol-heavy cocktail, mellowed out by the sweet and savory flavors you get when you combine chocolate and tequila. Order this cocktail with some Enchiladas de Mole Poblano, and you’ll have a evening filled with Latin flair.
